"My partner and I got in line on a Saturday night at 10:30 and waited probably 45 minutes to get in. We could hear the music from the stairs outside and knew it was worth the wait. The two item minimum is a fair and reasonable price no matter where you go, but especially in Manhattan. We were first seated at the only spots available when we walked in, two spots at the bar, behind a wall. But after walking through the rain and waiting in line, we didn't mind. I considered asking our server if we could move when other chairs opened up, but he beat me to the punch and moved us right next to the music. My partner tried 3 different sakes and enjoyed them all, and I was a big fan of the lemon drops. We also got the octopus with wasabi and chikuwa with mozzarella cheese, and we could not recommend these more. The wasabi had a nice kick but wasn't unbearable, and this is coming from someone who didn't enjoy wasabi until now. And the chikuwa was delicate and delicious. Our server said it was his favorite on the menu and we can definitely see why. Tomi Jazz is worth the wait and it's gonna be at the top of our list whenever we're in the area again."
